Bottom 17% in the Netherlands

Everything close by, little space

Strijp S sits almost at the bottom of the national ranking for quiet & nature, and the figures show why: many residents on little land, little greenery and tree canopy close by, and a noise level well above the national middle. A 2.5 is then no surprise.

The crime picture is just as one-sided. Property crime here is more than four times the national median, while violence and burglary both stay below it. That points to things disappearing in a place many people pass through, not to street violence — which is why safety still holds at a 5.6.

The 3.9 for families is the most honest figure of the lot. The share of children is minimal, households with children are the exception, and the primary school is a kilometre away. This is housing for single people and couples, and that translates straight into the pillar.

Frequently asked questions

Is Strijp S a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Strijp S comes out at 52 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Strijp S is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Strijp S?

In Strijp S the police recorded 389 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (52 per 1,000) is not simply that count divided by the number of residents: we count residents plus workplaces, so a shopping street or station is not unfairly penalised, and for small counts we pull the figure towards the national average — otherwise a single incident would make a small neighbourhood look unsafe.

How is the grade for Strijp S calculated?

Strijp S scores 3.7 as its total score. That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Strijp S lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands. So it is not the mean of the five grades, but a place in the queue. All from open data published by CBS and the police.
